They work well. Not quite as grippy in some conditions as the Nevegal 2.35 StickE that I was using before, but they roll a lot faster and wear better. And the 2.4 is a huge volume tire which I like, but also quite a bit heavier than the 2.2 version.

I have a similar set up, except I'm using Mountain Kings 2.4 front and rear. I had the Nevegals 2.35 F & R before and I did like their grip, but they were the slowest rolling tires I have ever used. On a ride I do fairly frequently, I rode everything a chainring higher once I switched to the MK's.

I would like to try the Nobby Nics to see how they compare and I have also heard good things about the High Roller (F) and Crossmark (R) when conditions aren't too sloppy.

I've been running Vredestien Black Panthers 2.35's ( actually measure 2.45). They haven't done as well since the leaves started falling and they rub a bit on my rear derailleur cable on hard turns. These high volumes aired down to 30/35 lbs work great for rocky single track. I decided to go narrow and lighter. I just put on a set of Fire XC Pros 2.1's. They definitely bite a lot better, but I now bounce off rocks rather than roll over them. I need a happy medium.
